The TALES you probably never heard about

GEORGE W. SCACE

[Welland Tribune, 19 January 1909]

The Brantford Expositor has an extended reference to the father of George Scace, West Main St., who died suddenly in Brantford, and was buried on Thursday. It reads in part:

The late Mr. Scace was born in Ipswich, England, and came to Canada in early manhood, settling at Dundas, where he married Miss Emma Bickell, who predeceased him some five years ago. He settled in Brantford, where he had continuously resided since. He was prominent in St. Jude’s church, where he held the wardenship for a number of years. He was also a member of Wolfe Lodge, S.O.E. A large family is left to mourn his loss, as follows: George, Welland; W.R., Brockville; Fred, of Toronto; Charles, at home; W.B. and James, of the Cockshutt Plow Company, city; Mrs. Hall, Calgary; Mrs. Jos. Broadbent, city; and Miss Emma at home. A sad feature of the death is the critical illness of Chas. Scace at home. To the members of the family the sympathy of a very wide circle of friends and acquaintances will be extended in their hour of bereavement. The funeral takes place on Thursday afternoon.

A kind father, an upright and sterling citizen, and a faithful adherent of St. Jude’s church has been called home.
